The 2022 Triennale is structured around Africa’s key priorities of foundational learning, the impact of COVID-19 on the continent’s educational systems in terms of policy and practice responses.

In line with current efforts to build back better resilient education systems for the continent, the objectives cut across four focus areas:

• Impact of COVID-19 on Africa’s educational systems;
• Foundational literacy and numeracy;
• Technical and vocational skills development; and
• Reimagining Africa’s higher education and scientific research.
